Noya's Kitchen in Bath and North East Somerset

We took friends to eat at Noya’s, for a pre theatre meal. As hoped our meals were absolutely delicious and my tastebuds are now craving the crispy tofu noodles dish every meal time! We’ll definitely be back- thank you so much team Noya!

Great food and service. A bit cramped and experience impacted by loud infant - didn’t linger after food

(Date of visit: 3/4/2025) The first ever Vietnamese restaurant I have ever been to that doesn’t serve pho. But they have this other noodle soup that I had that I’ve forgotten the name of which was just as great. The restaurant interior is a bit dark and feels a bit, I wouldn’t say claustrophobic but the ~seven tables in the dining area are placed very close together. The service was lovely though

Such a wonderful place, great atmosphere, always exciting flavours, good range of drinks options and love the homely feel with the collected crockery over the years. Always booked up so make sure to check in advance! This place is popular!

*UPDATE* Still amazing, visiting a year later. Our group had a selection of curries and they were delicious - but we miss the buns. //Amazing food - you can't go wrong. This is a fantastic restaurant and I can't recommend it enough.. We had the oyster Bao, dumplings and both curries (tofu and chicken) and everything was delicious. Definitely in the top tier of restaurants in Bath. It does get very busy so I would recommend booking, especially for dinner.

My partner took me to Nomas Kitchen for my birthday, and while the food was absolutely fantastic, the service unfortunately didn’t match the quality of the kitchen. We were taken downstairs to our table, which wasn’t quite ready, so we waited by the drinks station—not a major problem, but not the warmest start either. Our server seemed distracted, asking if she’d taken our order (she hadn’t), then later wondering if she’d made our drinks—after our starters had already been served. We also had to ask for water ourselves. During clearing, a fork was accidentally dropped and nearly hit my partner - he caught it - but the apology was mumbled and she rushed off. When our mains arrived, some broth was spilled on the table, and after that we didn’t have any further interaction until we sought her out to pay. At no point were we checked on, offered additional drinks or dessert, or given the option to box up leftovers, which we noticed was being done for others. To be fair, the food was absolutely fantastic. But great food can only go so far. The lack of attention and basic hospitality really let the evening down. Maybe it was just an off night, but for a special occasion, it left us disappointed.

We’ve tried most items on the menu now, and the quality is consistently excellent. Friendly staff with a lovely atmosphere. The only negatives so to speak would be that the menu is somewhat limited. But again, everything on it is really very good. It’s also definitely on the pricier side for Bath, but the portion size probably makes up for that too (difficult to finish starters and main)

We booked this place on spec, prior to a weekend in Bath with relatives. The food was delicious, fresh and zingy. The menu wasn’t extensive, but that signals proper cooking to me. Starters were very good. My brother-in-law, who isn’t normally a fan of spicy food, loved his chicken curry. Portions were generous and well-priced (especially by Bath standards), the atmosphere was informal and convivial and the staff were delightful. Highly recommended!

Small intimate and beautiful building . Uncomplicated , limited menu but enough to choose from . Pork dumplings with chilli jam and battered mushrooms with spicy mayonnaise delicious . Pork belly and noodles main , tumeric cod cheeks and noodles , also yummy . Non intrusive , cool setting and nice staff , highly recommend . The cocktails looked fab although I didn’t try myself , local craft beers and wine went down well 😊

Beautiful food, fresh, full of flavour and delicious! Well worth the visit xx

Fresh, tasty, authentic food. Delicious.....highly recommend !!

Absolutely delicious food. Great value, excellent service. Cute and cosy atmosphere. Highly recommend!

One of the best Vietnamese food I’ve had (in Europe at least, haven’t been to Vietnam yet)! I had the summer rolls and the pork noodles which I didn’t manage to finish despite it being absolutely delicious. I really like the Vietnamese cider too. I highly recommend and will come again when I next visit Bath! The girlies doing the service were great too! Bonus points for the playlist that was on point as well :)

Best Vietnamese food I've had in Bristol or bath - absolute delicious!

I read the reviews thoroughly before deciding to pop in and book. Was welcomed apparently by a new member of staff who was quite dismissive. Which I was really surprised about given the reviews. But we still decided to go ahead and book a table for the following night. We arrived the next day to find she wasn’t on shift - a bit of a relief to be honest! Food was good and service much better. I didn’t have the great experience as mentioned in many reviews. It was good but not sure it was exceptional. I’d probably go back again if visiting, but it wouldn’t necessarily be a go to restaurant.

Great food, and lots of it. After a starter each, my wife and I couldn’t finish our mains!

A real treat to come here. Fantastic food that sets tastebuds tingling. I always have the pork belly and peanut sauce. Keep meaning to try other food but just love this one.

Managed to snag a table walking in and was super happy I did! Really delicious food, well priced and with great service. Definitely try the ice-cream! I have coeliac disease and this was handled really well - very good menu for GF options. Fab!

My first time at Noya’s Kitchen. We had a really nice meal and great service. I would recommend this restaurant

Food was great, came with friends, informed that we could stay only two hours to free the table for another potential customer. Fair play. After two hours we were asked to leave, even though there were free tables around so there was no rational reason to pressure people to vacate the restaurant. Bad strategy, never coming back here.

A gem in Bath ! fantastic independent Vietnamese restaurant .The food is fresh, flavorful, and carefully crafted, with a perfect balance of traditional and innovative flavors. One standout dish is the fried chicken starter, which is a true highlight—crispy, tender, and packed wit flavour. The crew are friendly and attentive ! If you're in Bath it's definitely worth to visit. BOOK in advance 😀

The food was unreal, amazing flavour and very authentic. We had the pork ribs, pork dumplings, pork belly noodles and beef Bun Bo and honestly everything was perfection.

I stopped here for lunch and it's genuinely the best Vietnamese food I've had in the UK, on a par with food I've had in Vietnam. I came in for lunch towards the end of their lunch opening. Staff were friendly and helpful, and I was served very quickly. The food was so delicious - I had the belly pork bûn and it was incredible. I would also recommend the iced Vietnamese drip coffee.

Best Vietnamese food I have had in a while. Delicious !

Delicious meal and cocktails - Diolch/thanks

I like to think myself an honest person and I also like to give an honest review so restaurants can improve where needed. The restaurant itself is a quaint and beautiful place. However the tables are far too close together and I felt extremely squished whilst sat. Myself and my mother booked for lunch on a Saturday. The staff were extremely polite, however there wasn’t enough of them in my opinion. We ordered cocktails to start which were the hibiscus woo and the hibiscus mimosa, these were delicious and worth a rating of 5*. We ordered our food promptly and the starter was served reasonably quickly. After finished it sat on the table for a long time before it was collected and we were waiting a good 40 minutes for our mains. When the mains came they looked incredible, but unfortunately were barely warm. I sent mine back and the waitress was very polite about the matter and also apologetic. I had the chicken curry which was delightful, these pickled red onions complimented it well. I do think the price was a little steep for what you get. I just think that today was unfortunate. Had they have been adequately staffed I feel our experience would have been a better one, but I can only review on the experience we had.

very good Vietnamese restaurant! Authentic flavors and good service!

Wonderful weekday dinner with really tasty food and cocktails. Friendly staff and lovely atmosphere.

The peanut pork belly noodles is one of the best meals I’ve had in years. Service amazing. My favourite restaurant in Bath.

Terribly disappointed With the food

Some of the best Vietnamese food I’ve had !! Such nice atmosphere and lovely service, would book ahead! Mango ice cream was amazing so creamy!

Absolutely amazing food. I had pork dumplings and fish with noodles which had wonderful flavours and careful presentation. Thank you Noya- we will be back!!

Lovely food, fresh and very tasty, heat/spices perfect. Friendly service.

It’s been days, and I still can’t stop thinking about those chicken wings. Or the bun bo. Absolutely magnificent: thank you!

What a find this is. Worth travelling to just for the food, I am very envious of those living in Bath as this would be my go to restaurant week in week out. The flavours are awesome, the choice of food narrow but wide enough to genuinely have a good range of choice. Been twice now, already planning a 3rd visit.

Freshly prepared food that is busting to your buds and tasty. It's worth the visit. I had starter Vietnamese roll and tofu noodles with peanut sauce. While my friend had chicken curry.

Fantastic food at Noya's. Really fresh, beautifully cooked, and a lovely ambience in the small but perfectly-formed restaurant. The ribs for starters are enough for two (or three even) to share, so be careful how much food you order. Curry was amazing, as was the Bun Bo. We loved it, and will definitely be back. 10/10.

The best food I’ve had in a long long time!!! Every dish was insanely delicious. Not only is every dish out of this world it is extremely generous portions. The ribs as are a starter are a must have, and the chicken curry should be on everyone’s order.

Absolutely incredible food, the best thai curry I've ever had! A unique range of teas as well

Utterly brilliant food. Slight mix-up with our booking but it was sorted with minimal fuss. We’ll be back soon.

Delicious food, regardless of other reviews below. Big portions, quality ingredients, great food experience. The pork noodles dish was fantastic!

A small busy very busy place - well worth booking in advance. A small menu which covers what you want to see from a vietnamese restaurant. Staff really helpful if you have questions. Food was very yummy!

The food was absolutely delicious. Great service, all round great experience.

Magic! Came here for a surprise birthday that my partner set up for me and the team made it super special, all set up with a birthday sign and bubbles ready. We recently returned from Vietnam and it was like being transported back, the food was absolutely spot on!! Fresh and delicious with a small menu done very, very well. Fast service all with a huge smile. Emily and Claudie couldn't do more for us. We will definitely come back, a firm new favourite! Pre booking essential!!

Fabulous flavourful food. Prompt and courteous service.

Another lovely meal at Noya's Kitchen. Lovely flavours and a very pleasant atmosphere. I can highly recommend this restaurant.

Noya's Kitchen is such a treat. The food is so good, fresh ,absolutely delicious and the portions are larg. I took three friends and they were very happy with my choice and am sure we will be meeting there again.

Such delicious, authentic Vietnamese food and great, friendly service. Thank you!

Second time here and loving it even more! Both my partner and I ordered slow cooked pork bun (noodles) which were so goood! Generous portion too! The pork just fell apart and the sauce with peanut butter goes so well with everything. Recommended to try their drinks too! we had Pandan Pop and that was nice if you fancy a hint of pandan. Coconut ice cream and mango ice cream were a nice finish of the meal! and speaking from someone from Asia I could say this is quite authentic Asian taste! Would definitely go back :)

Great place for a pho stop. One of the better pho i have had and the service was great and friendly. Definitely a stop if you like Vietnamese food

Delightful food, friendly staff, and a garden to boot. Recommended (particularly the Bun [noodles] and drip coffee).

We love Noya’s kitchen and once again has not disappointed; the food was excellent! The service was also impeccable, nice to see smiley faces and care. Maybe a tiny thing that can be done better is the moving tables and chairs at the end of the evening whilst people are still dining; I understand everyone is keen to go home at the end of their shifts, but dragging the tables can be very noisy and ruin the atmosphere.

Amazing food & Service , we will be back. Thanks to the two staff who were working yesterday { Mothers Day } you made us feel at home . And yes the coffee was lush !!

Saturday lunchtime so pretty busy but the service was immaculate, the food was out of this world, the pork dumplings were sublime and the whole experience was absolutely brilliant. Noya’s is definitely one of the best places to eat in Bath. Highly recommended.

Very nice. Authentic Vietnamese cuisines 😉😋

Summary: The most European Asian restaurant which I have ever seen in the UK which can be easily skipped. I have ordered crispy dumplings, chicken curry and spicy beef noodles. Dumplings were just weird. I have never seen deep fried dumplings in my entire life. It didn't taste good. 2/5 Chicken curry was tasty and chicken super tender so I could rate it as 4/5 Beef noodles had tasteless noodles and tasteless broth. Not much flavour however it had a lot of meat. 3/5 I had mixed feelings. From one side it was an OK lunch however curry and noodles cost £18-19 each. It's not a super luxury food. Those are very down to earth dishes. You can find much better quality for a lower price somewhere else. A year ago I ordered same curry and it was for £14. One year and nearly 1/3 higher price. Also: please do not add an optional service charge and act passive aggressive when I ask you to remove it.

Disfrutamos de la comida, porciones sabrosas y generosas. No es barato, así que uno para una ocasión especial para mí, no una comida diaria. Bonito ambiente, no demasiado ruidoso.

The most delicious flavours and menu. I have lived in Bath for so many years and never been here until last weekend. The staff were so friendly and great. The food was delicious - had prawn rice noodle rolls to start with, then pork belly noodles with a delicious sauce. The flavours were incredible. I will definitely return.

Fabulous food and friendly staff

First time here, food was great, generous portions, lovely staff, will definitely be back

Lovely tasty food ,large portions nice atmosphere, great staff. Will definitely be back. Enjoyed the wine too, was too full for dessert

Lovely. Great staff and excellent food..

Food was fantastic, absolutely delicious, full of flavour, cannot fault, 5*. What dropped the review to only 4* was that the place looks a bit dirty (rather than just shabby) round the edges, and as the last booking of the day, it felt like staff were in a rush to get us out, so brought our orders out too quickly and just felt rushed (the cover is up to 1hr 20min, but we'd finished two courses and a drink by 45mins as were rushed). Would come back for the food though. Recommend booking ahead as this place is popular.

Really good food, little bit pricey for the chicken curry, but it was good.

Amazing place.Everyting is so delicious.Servuce is wonderful.10/10

Me and my partner came to eat at Noyas yesterday and were so impressed with the food. The portions were perfect and the ratio of proteins to noodles and rice were probably the best I've experienced in a restaurant setting. Shout out to Noyas mums chicken curry recipe, that sauce 🤯🤤 The staff were super friendly and really helpful. Also the green tea was the best I've ever had. Thanks guys 🌞

Really relaxed place to eat with excellent food and choice

This was a lovely lively little place and the food was delicious, I had the turmeric fish and my cousin had a noodle dish with 3 meats (she didn’t enjoy the ham included) but it was fresh tasty food which we both enjoyed. Would definitely go back

We were looking for a restaurant with a difference and we are certainly glad we found Noya’s Kitchen. Fantastic food and friendly, attentive staff made it a meal to remember. Try the chicken curry, It’s amazing!

This is an excellent place. Booking essential as everyone has caught onto how brilliant the food and service are! Laid back but attentive, and the food is so tasty and delicious! Also recommended is the Vietnamese apple and ginger cider!

What a little gem. Yummy, expertly balanced flavours and perfect service - also very good value. Cute place and very busy so plenty of atmosphere.

Booked a table for 2 persons about a week in advance, prior to a music gig at the forum. So glad we did, for a Thursday evening they were fully booked and I can see why! The food is amazing and the service fantastic. We thoroughly enjoyed the pork dumplings and sweetcorn fritters as a starter and the chicken Thai green curry was fabulous 😋 Loved the vibe here. Big shout out to Meg who took my food allergies seriously with a professional and friendly manner 😊 Will definitely be returning as we live local 🥰

Always a pleasure to visit The best

The food was excellent, with generous portions, and the service was lovely. I also loved the decoration and beautiful wallpaper. My only downside was being asked to leave due to a table reservation, even though we had only been there for about an hour and a half (perhaps even less), and I hadn't finished my meal! It would have been helpful if they had informed us about it from the start. I hope this was just a one-off incident. I will definitely go back. ♥️

Absolutely delicious. Well worth the visit (though probably advisable to book in advance to ensure availability)!

Absolutely amazing—everything was perfect, from the service to the atmosphere! And the food… OMG! Absolutely shockingly good! A must visit, amazing job, ladies!

Wonderful food and service too. Lovely surroundings and friendly staff too. We will be back!

If you haven't eaten here you're missing out.

Really incredible food and lovely staff. Definitely one of the best restaurants in town! Went here for our anniversary meal and the staff put up a decoration that said 'happy anniversary' :)

Super, super delicious pork belly. Wonderful staff!

Once again, perfect food. My fish dish was heavenly. Katina was a joy to see again, as she greeted me with the most warm and friendliest of smiles. It was an added to bonus to quickly ab able to thank Noya for her scrumptious dishes. I can't wait to return. Thank you to all the team. Ciao for now! Katherine

Incredible. Best Vietnamese Restaurant I have ever been too. Delicious food and amazing atmosphere. Can't speak highly enough of this place.

Expensive - £17-19 for basic curry/rice or noodle bowl, though tasty.

We did a supper club here and it was delicious! The portions were so generous and we were full by the third course but just kept on eating

Sat in a cosy room downstairs, very nicely decorated, the server was attentive and helpful, both dishes chicken curry and beef stew were very tasty. Also had nice non alc options, both locally brewed. I'd definitely recommend

Food was absolutely incredible! Service was great apart from having to ask several times for drinks. A fantastic restaurant and would highly recommend.

Lived up to its excellent reputation. Great food and great service. Cocktails were very good.....and strong!!!!! ☺️

We had an amazing meal at Noya’s. The food was delicious and the staff were amazing. They were very accommodating of us and our grumpy toddler!

Had a super tasty lunch in such a lovely relaxed atmosphere

Superb start to finish. Wonderful flavours, generous portions, warm hospitality. We'll be back for supper club!

First visit following a recommendation and I will return. Fantastic food from a limited menu, which is welcome as not overwhelmed with choice. The chicken curry was superb, with a nice level of heat. The staff were really attentive and the service was quick even though it was busy. Probably best to book ahead as it's only a small place.

Fantastic independent restaurant. Amazing food , superb service and an excellent experience. Will definitely revisit

Gone for lunch here a couple of times and always enjoy the food. Reasonable portions and incredibly tasty. Still never managed dessert. But the Vietnamese coffee is one of the best I’ve had.

The resturant was warm and inviting on a cold night. The service was attentive. We shared 2 starters both delicious. We both ordered the same main, chicken curry. We weren’t disappointed. The portion was plentiful and the flavours awesome. We washed it down with a nice South African Rose. We live 200 miles away but should we ever find ourselves in Bath again we would return in a heartbeat A really lovely evening.

We had a great dinner at Noya Kitchen the food was excellent along with very friendly service made our evening and we will be definitely coming back.

Food was not bad but overpriced, overrated.

Fabulous meal, really interesting flavours and a proper food experience. Great friendly service that was just right. Had a very enjoyable experience, would definitely recommend and will return when we are next in Bath.

Brilliant all round, had been waiting for a while to get a reservation and well worth the wait, highly recommend

Fantastic! Beautiful spaces - Georgian rooms reimagined as a lovely Vietnamese restaurant; really lovely server; food colourful, delicious, very authentic per my co diner, and very filling; prices very fair. Highly recommended. You do need to book - every table was booked on this chilly January lunchtime!

We were recommended Noya's Kitchen by a bartender in Fidel's Rum Bar. When we turned up it was fully booked and smelled amazing. We made sure to book a table for the next night and everything was fantastic. The food was delicious and aromatic, and definitely not afraid of some heat. It felt like authentic food and the cocktails were exotic twists on some classics.
